The ArtSure scheme focuses on the quality of inks and papers. However, participating image makers are all Fine Art Trade Guild members and are bound by the Guild’s code of ethics.
Where a limited edition is being published, the Guild recommends that the edition size is kept below 850, including artists’ proofs, worldwide. Use of the image in any other form must be declared.
No further editions of a print should be published featuring all or part of an existing limited edition image. The Certificate of
Authenticity and the ArtSure registration certificate must declare any other uses of the image.
If a print is produced as an open edition, and the inks and paper used meet ArtSure standards, then the publisher, if an ArtSure participant, can say so. Open edition prints might not be registered on the database.
